Originally, it was a hamlet on Bexley Heath within the parish of Bexley. As the new settlement known as Bexleyheath developed from the late 19th century and the early 20th century, Upton became absorbed into the new town.
In 1860, Red House, the elegant brick and tile home designed by Philip Webb for William Morris, was built on the heath in Upton.[1] Red House is now preserved by the National Trust.
From 1887 to 1978, Upton had a hospital on Upton Road. The building was still there in 2019. [2]

gollark: You are *really* repetitive, qez.
gollark: If I were to redesign it, it would probably use CBOR in place of JSON, possibly apply some sort of minimal compression library, and include a "track type" field of some kind.
gollark: XTMF is admittedly not the best-designed standard, in retrospect.
gollark: See, thanks to it loading standardized XTMF tapes, instead of... having me hardcode the tracks on the computer or something... I can just put in tapes and it'll handle them fine.
